| The appellant is having a three phase industrial service connection with consumer No. 11909 under Electrical Section, Kuruppampady, for running a firm in the name and style of Universal Veneers. While so on 17-06-2016, the APTS of licensee conducted an inspection in the appellant’s premises and detected that the current in the Y phase is ‘zero’ and hence the consumption in that phase was not recording in the meter. Accordingly, the appellant was served with a short assessment bill for an amount of Rs. 36,141.00 for the period from 05-04- 2016 to 30-04-2016, during the period in which the meter was alleged to have not recording properly. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Ernakulam, with petition No. OP 52/2016-17 and the Forum dismissed the petition vide its order dated 30-09-2016. Against the above decision, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority.
In the above circumstances the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 36,141.00 issued to the appellant was arrived at on the basis of a wrong calculation which is not legally sustainable and hence set aside. However, it is left open to the respondent to issue a revised bill for the month of April 2016 on the basis of average consumption computed from 3 billing cycles after rectification of defect in the meter as per Regulation 125(1) of Supply Code, 2014.
This shall be done at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. Excess amount, if any, remitted by the appellant shall be refunded or adjusted against the future bills. The CGRF order in OP No. 52/2016-17 dated 30-09-2016 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
